Why Doesn't God Aswer My Prayer Series

Contributed by Ralph Juthman on Nov 1, 2009

When God chooses to answer our prayer, He does so for His glory not to make our lives more comfortable. When we receive an answer to prayer it is not so we can live our lives independent of His will, but so that we will be fulfilled in the center of His

A look at Paul’s teaching in 1 Cor 1:10-18, emphasizing the Message and the point of the Gospel--looking to Christ--instead of focusing on our problems and issues here in this fallen world. God’s called us into salvation, how let’s give Him the Glory whi

Let Your Conscience Be Your Guide Series

Contributed by David Dykes on Oct 11, 2006

If you could spend your entire life listening to and obeying your God-given conscience, you could live a perfect life. But the Bible says we have ALL sinned and we fall short of the glory of God. All of us end up with a messed-up conscience.

INTRODUCTION This is the penultimate message in this series on spurious Bible verses. Next week, we’ll consider the final adage, “To Thine Own Self Be True.” I encourage you to investigate this week and see if you can find the true source of that saying.

Right Where God Wants Me To Be

Contributed by Paul Davidson on Feb 7, 2020

As we follow where God leads us, we encounter trials and struggles, but that's part of the plan! God uses those trials to shape and mold us into the people He desires for us to become… but most importantly, so His glory can be revealed to the world!

For the message this morning, we’re going to go back to the book of Exodus... and we’re going to look at a real historical event that will be very familiar to most of you… The crossing of the Red Sea. Since this story IS very familiar to us already, we must be careful not to just read through it ...read more

Sin: The Struggle, The Revelation

Contributed by Lee Hammond Houston Jr. on Jan 31, 2021

Romans 3:23, "All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God." Even the Apostle Paul was one of the “all have sinned.” Only Christ was without sin. Paul sometimes disappointed people, sometimes made mistakes, and sometimes just plain messed up.

Sin: the Struggle, the Revelation Our scripture today is Romans 7:14-8:4. I am breaking it in half, for in the first half Paul writes like a frustrated man, but in the second half Paul reveals a wonderful revelation. Listen to how disturbed Paul is in this first half, Romans 7:14-24. "14 ...read more

This morning we remember those who served, and who gave their lives, in not just the Great War, but in all wars. We remember and give thanks for their dedication and service, their bravery and commitment. I know there are some here who have lost friends or family to war, or who have experienced ...read more

Trust The Ways Of God And Not My Ways Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Jul 8, 2013

Sometimes we falsely believe that because we belong to God we can do no wrong and God must bless everything we do. What we must realize is that as we move in concert with how God wants us to move that things will line up for His glory.

The three psalms we are looking at today have this theme in common: love God, be linked to God, let God set the agenda. Psalm 89 finishes off Book III of the psalter. It is a wonderful restatement of God’s promises to David about the Messiah, but then ends with somewhat of a repudiation of ...read more

Face-To-Face With Your Maker

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on May 27, 2018

What will it be like to see God face-to-face? Isaiah does, and notes a pattern for us: we need to experience God's glory, sense our own unworthiness, receive God's cleansing, and respond to God's call. Then, we walk in fellowship with the God who made us.

Isaiah 6:1-8 Face-to-Face with Your Maker Prepare to meet your maker! Have you ever wondered what it will be like to see God face-to-face? The ancient prophet Isaiah actually had occasion to do so, and he didn’t die. God gave him a vision that would forever change him. As I looked at Isaiah’s ...read more

Jesus' High Priestly Prayer

Contributed by Alan Perkins on May 26, 2019

In Jesus' longest recorded prayer, offered to the Father just hours before his arrest and crucifixion, he asks for three critical things that we need, and for which God's power is both necessary and sufficient: (1) purity and protection, (2) unity, and (3) glory.

Chapter seventeen of John’s gospel consists of a prayer, offered by Jesus to the Father. It is a remarkable prayer. First of all, it’s the longest prayer of Jesus which is recorded in any of the gospels. Jesus was known to pray for long periods of time, but usually he went off by himself to do so. ...read more
